My compliments for a very informative video! I did the said area in 2019 - and can testify how well you made the video. I flew to Buenos Aires, then by long distnce bus via Puerto Mndryn to El Clafate and onwards to Ushaia -but since it was low season (winter), I could not sail from Puerto Natales to Puerto Mont (Chlie westcoast) - The webside had not been updated, so I found out "the hard way". But nayway, my roundtrip turned out to be come "a memory for life"! ;-)

Hi! This was by far the BEST video I’ve seen for this! I am planning a trip to BA next month for a month and getting overwhelmed with all the things to do! I am planning to go to Patagonia for a week so I think your 7 day itinerary is perfect. I do have a question about the 4 day one. Does that one include Fitz Roy as well? And can you possibly make a video showing us what to pack?

@SheRunTheWorld 8 месяцев назад

Aw thanks so much! I’m glad you found it helpful!! Yes- the 4 days is just the Argentinian side so it includes El Chalten (which is where Fitz Roy is) and El Calafate I’m actually living in London now and don’t have access to any of the hiking equipment or clothes I brought to Patagonia in order to make the video :( I moved here spontaneously so I don’t have much with me. But I’m happy to answer any specific questions you have on IG @sheruntheworld_ ☺️

@Teedothen Год назад

This is excellent content, in fact everything ive watched of yours on argentina and chile has been great! I was struggling to find much info on day hikes. Everything i was reading was basically saying to go on the multi day hikes or dont bother, so this has been extremely helpful. Just one quick question. What month were you in patagonia? looks like you got great weather!

@SheRunTheWorld Год назад

Aw thank you so much, that means a lot! Yeah that’s all the content I found before I went too, so I was nervous. But after going, I felt like I needed to share. I was there the last week of November 2022. It was perfect weather! ☺️

@esthertruscello8452 Год назад

Thank you so much for these tips and itineraries! How far in advance would you recommend booking hostels/hotels?

@SheRunTheWorld Год назад

You’re welcome, I’m happy to help! I only booked mine the week before I went which was in November.

@katrinas.1775 Год назад

Hey, Brittany! Your Patagonia series is really helpful! I am planning on being in El Calafate on a solo trip in July to see El Chalten and mini trek Perito Moreno. I do have a few questions: a) Is it cheaper to book activities when I arrive in El Calafate or to book in advance? b) is it possible to do the Fitz Roy hike in July? Thank you so graciously for your videos and cannot wait to see the best of Patagonia with my own eyes!

@SheRunTheWorld Год назад

Hey Katrina, Aw thank you so much that really means a lot to me! 1) you should definitely book when you get there, it’ll be cheaper 2) as far as I know it doesn’t close at any point during the year, so you should be able to do it in July! but you should be prepared for really cold weather and possible snow! You’re so welcome- I’m excited for you to see it, it’s absolutely incredible :)

@Ryhenzo Год назад

Hi Brittany. Thank you for the very succinct and informative video. I was wondering, for the hikes to Fitz Roy, do we need a guide for those? Are the trails pretty straight forward? Additionally where do I book my bus tickets from and to El Chalten from El Calafate? Thank you!

@SheRunTheWorld Год назад

You’re welcome! You don’t need guides for anything, the trails are very straight forward. And you can buy your bus tickets at the El Chalten bus station directly and then hop on your bus!

@Ryhenzo Год назад

@@SheRunTheWorld Thank you! Also do the buses stop at El Calafate airport? Do you recommend us buying the bus tickets online?

@furrycoolportraits4988 7 месяцев назад

Hi Brittany , great videos! Thank you for all your information. We are a group of 3 planning to go there at the end of DEC 2023, wondering did you have to go back and forth for the hours journey everyday from el calafate / el chalten to each tourist attraction spot? thank you

@SheRunTheWorld 7 месяцев назад

Hi! No problem. I did the exact itinerary from the video so there’s no going back and forth. Fly into El Calafate and stay there for a few days for those activities, then take a bus to El Chalten for a few days to those activities!!

@yangqdr 10 дней назад

Thanks. Can you do your 3-day itinerary in July, winter?

@SheRunTheWorld 9 дней назад

I have no idea I’m sorry! I don’t know what the hikes look like in winter or if all of them are open. I’d bet the temperatures would be brutal! Lol

@krisizdebski859 Год назад

Thank YOU Brittany !! - straight to the point video , going to Patagonia in February. What do you think about me going from El Calafate to Ushuaia after my 7 days in patagonia then come back to El Calafate then Buenos Aires and then flay to US ?

@SheRunTheWorld Год назад

You’re welcome! So glad you found it helpful!! I think that’s an amazing plan after your 7 days. I heard Ushuaia is just stunning 😍

@carlosaspilcueta701 Год назад

Very insightful video! Quick question: if you wanna get in the bus from the airport in El Calafate to go straight to the Perito Moreno Glacier, do you have to book online the bus trip? and do you have to book online the entrance to the perito moreno park? or are there tour companies in the airport? Thanks!

@SheRunTheWorld Год назад

Thank you! I do remember seeing 1-2 stalls with glacier departures at 9am, so I’m sure you could book it directly there if you got the earliest flight in. But if you want to be safe and make sure it doesn’t fill up, maybe I’d book online just for this 1 excursion to guarantee everything. No matter which option you can’t pay the entrance fee online, the bus will pull over and everyone will have to pay the entrance fee when you arrive.

@vaultvideo544 4 месяца назад

awesome video! how did you get your bus tickets from Calafate to Chalten?

@SheRunTheWorld 4 месяца назад

Thank you! I just bought them at Calafate bus station and hopped on the next one! There’s multiple going throughout the day so it’s pretty easy and doesn’t need to be done in advance

@CPWong 9 месяцев назад

Thanks So much Brittany ! This is the most useful video I ever saw in RU-vid on Patagonia travel. Can I ask you a dumb question, on the blue rate exchange, can I just bring USD cash to any exchange shops in Buenos Aires or at BA Airport or Western Union (without any Transfer) in BA to enjoy the same rate?

@SheRunTheWorld 9 месяцев назад

You’re so welcome! I’m glad you found it helpful! It’s not dumb at all- you still get a great rate if you exchange USD cash at an exchange rate. A western union transfer is still slightly better, but it’s not a big enough difference to matter too much in my opinion. I will say though, I went in November 2022 so almost a year ago. I’ve had people comment recently that the blue rate now works with debit/credit cards for foreigners. So I’d recommend still bringing USD cash to exchange as your backup, but try making a small purchase on your debit/credit card when you arrive in BA and see if it’s the actual exchange rate or blue dollar. If it is, great! If not, exchange your cash☺️ (Also this is just based on my experience last year & people’s recent comments- I’m not too well versed in Argentinian politics/policies, so it may have changed in the year since I’ve been there & I don’t want to give you incorrect info if it has changed!!)

@garyyang4961 Год назад

Great video! I’m planning on heading down to Argentina from the States for ~10 days next spring. I suppose it’s a matter of personal preference, but how long would you recommend staying in Buenos Aires, or would you recommend just stopping over and going straight to Patagonia to optimize the time?

@SheRunTheWorld Год назад

Thank you! That’ll be an amazing trip! Normally I’d say skip the city, and go straight for nature but Buenos Aires is actually super cool. With your time limit I’d say spend a solid 2 days there (I have a 3 day itinerary with a Google map on my channel) and then head over to Patagonia (I have another Patagonia video of everything you need to know before you go)

@husbandslockerroom4041 Год назад

Great video. Wife and I planning a trip but how can we obtain the El Chalten Map and Torres Del Paine Map?

@SheRunTheWorld Год назад

Thank you, I’m happy to help! When you get to the park, there are tons of maps you can grab at the information center

@husbandslockerroom4041 Год назад

Thanks for responding. Sorry I should have explained a way to obtain a map from the US. Want a map from the Park itself. Or do we have to print from their website?

@rajbirluddu3194 8 месяцев назад

Hey Brittany, your videos are amazing.. they so are full of great tips. We are looking to go to Patagonia in May next year.. would the national parks be opened for the glacier and hiking in Fitz Roy mountains.. We would also like to do a day trip to Ushuaia? Is that possible? Should we fly from Buenos Aires or Santiago?? We are looking to add Patagonia at the end of either one of these two cities.. Thank you so much for your very informative videos❤🙏🙏🙏

@SheRunTheWorld 8 месяцев назад

Aw thank you so much, I’m so glad you’ve found them helpful!! So May does start the winter season (May-Sep) so I believe it’s still open to hike Fitz Roy as long as weather permits and there’s not too much snow. I believe during the winter you have to register with the Park Center when you arrive, just so they’re aware of whose hiking during the colder conditions. If you’re doing the Argentinian side (Calafate & Chalten) I’d fly from Buenos Aires, or if you’re doing the Chilean side (Torres Del Paine) I’d fly from Santiago. Personally I think flying from BA and doing the Argentinian side is a lot easier and more accessible, so that’s what I did and would recommend I did see tours advertising for Ushuaia day trips so I do believe it’s possible - it’s just very expensive and very long. As you’d have to take a round trip flight in the same day. I heard Ushuaia is incredible so you might want more time there then just 1 day!! (If you have it lol) I’m happy to answer any other questions you have, feel free to message me on IG @ sheruntheworld_ Thanks so much for watching & enjoying my videos ♥️

@hmashru 9 месяцев назад

Thanks Brittany, this is such a helpful video! Quick question, would it be cheaper to land up and book stays / hostels in person, paying in cash, coz of the blue dollar? As compared to booking online and paying by credit card? I guess that way I would run the risk of not finding places to stay?

@SheRunTheWorld 9 месяцев назад

Thank you I’m glad you found it helpful!! What I would do is find the hotel online and message them if you can book with cash when you arrive. That way it’s still reserved in advance but you get to take advantage of the blue dollar! That’s what we did in El Chalten!!

@Slothien Год назад

Very awesome video! Few equations if you don’t mind - how did you get around? It sounds like you took a bus everywhere. Are buses easy? Flexible? Do you need to book these in advance? Do you think a Car rental would be better? - for all the hikes you mentioned. Did you need to book tickets in advance to get in the park / hike? Or is it just pay once you get there and walk right in? I’m from Canada and some of popular parks / hikes have like limits in how many people can visit per day so you need to book in advances etc. so I was wondering if it might be the same here. - did you do the hikes / glacier on your own or with a tour? Do you have to use tours? Or can we do it ourselves.

@SheRunTheWorld Год назад

Thank you! Buses are very easy, flexible and you don’t need to book in advance. I prefer buses over car rental because it’s a lot cheaper, but up to you! You don’t need to pay anything for the hikes or book in advance there’s no limit or fees for anything. Hikes: on my own, don’t need a guide! Glacier: there is no public bus, so you either take a tour bus to get there and then they drop you off and let you explore on your own. Or you rent a car! Up to you.

@user-cx4sp1mm9w 10 месяцев назад

Hey Brittany, Really helpful video!! I have one remaining doubt since I have been looking for information withouth success.. is it possible to go directly from El Calafate to Torres del Paine national park without going through Puerto Natales (Chile)?? Also, where can I get hotel close to the entrance of the park before starting W or O hiking? Is there a main town? Thanks, cheers!

@SheRunTheWorld 10 месяцев назад

Hey, thank you!! So I know there’s a bus from El Calafate to Torres Del Paine but idk if it goes through Puerto Natales or not. I didn’t go to the Chilean side of Patagonia, just stuck to the argentina side. I’m sorry!!

@patriciapmarq 22 дня назад

This is just another amazing video of yours! Thanks a lot!! I'm planning to go to Patagonia but I'm coming from Chile so I was planning on doing: 1. Flying from Santiago do Puerto Natales and doing here the Torres Del Paine National Park 2. Then head to El Calafate and go to Perito Moreno 3. Then head to El Chaltén and do all those hikes (Fitz Roy and Torre) 4. Then back to El Calafate just to pick up a flight to Buenos Aires Do you think this journey makes sense?

@SheRunTheWorld 22 дня назад

@SheRunTheWorld 11 месяцев назад

The last week of November 2022, so actually it was just turning into summer! It was sunny and nice outside, but still pretty chilly that I’d recommend a jacket and pants.

@jeffbelanger1108 9 месяцев назад

I've noticed in a few videos of this area that travelers are going to Western Union to get their US cash. Are there no ATM's?

@SheRunTheWorld 10 месяцев назад

When you pull out money from an ATM or use a card to purchase things, you’re paying the official exchange rate which is super expensive. If you get cash via western Union you get the blue dollar exchange rate, so you get about 2x more money this way.

What was your budget when visiting Patagonia?

@SheRunTheWorld Год назад

In El Calafate we spent $35/night for a hotel and El Chalten was $65/night. Then we bought groceries for breakfast and lunch, and only went out to eat for dinner! Only activity cost was the glacier tour, all other activities were just hikes so they were free!! All in all, I don’t remember the exact budget but it really wasn’t bad once you’re there. It’s just the flight to get there that’s crazy
